Plot.

The actual members of the Hong Kong Baseball Team all prove themselves to be natural actors by playing themselves in this fictional youth drama set in 2004. In a city where baseball culture is non-existent, these baseball players are a minority by choice. The experience teaches them to be free-thinkers in dealing with love, friendship and their own sexuality. It also enables them to find the will to live in the face of death and the strength to conquer losing in a spectatorless sport.

City Without Baseball (Chinese: ็„ก้‡Žไน‹ๅŸŽ; stylized: ็„ก้‡ŽใฎๅŸŽ; jyutping: mou4 je5 zi1 sing4) is a 2008 Hong Kong drama film starring Ron Heung and other members of the Hong Kong National Baseball Team. It is directed by South African-born Hong Kong filmmaker Lawrence Ah Mon, about a city where baseball is almost unknown, and where the team plays to empty stadia.

The film is the first of seven such films by Scud (the production-crediting name of Hong Kong writer/film producer Danny Cheng Wan-Cheung). The six later films are: Permanent Residence in 2009, Amphetamine in 2010, Love Actually... Sucks! in 2011, Voyage in 2013, Utopians in 2015 and Thirty Years of Adonis in 2017. His eighth film, Apostles, was made in 2022, as was his ninth, Bodyshop.His tenth and final film, Naked Nations: Hong Kong Tribe, is currently in production.
